How do I change payment information and region for my Apple ID?

I am unable to change my region and my payment method . I purchased my phone in America, i added an American Bank card to my payment method . Then I am back in my home country trying to use a card from my country and it’s not accepting my payment

Have you changed your region yet? If you haven’t changed your region you can only use American payment methods, so change your region first


  1. Open the Settings app. 
  2. Tap your name, then tap Media & Purchases.
  3. Tap View Account. You might be asked to sign in.
  4. Tap Country/Region.
  5. Select your new country or region.
  6. Tap Change Country or Region.
  7. Tap your new country or region, then review the Terms & Conditions.
  8. Tap Agree in the upper-right corner, then tap Agree again to confirm.
  9. Select a payment method and enter your new payment information and billing address, then tap Next. You must enter a valid payment method for your new country or region.*


After you’ve changed your region, you can add your new payment method


There are a few requirements yoiu’ll need to meet before trying to attempt to change your region tho
